I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"I don't know who they will marry, but I can assure you that they will marry the people they love, and I will not force them."

"That's more like it."

Upon receiving this reply, Qin Li prepared to get up and leave.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but raise her head and ask.

Qin Li glanced at her: "Is it any of your business? Didn't they say that Heaven should have sent down a bolt of lightning long ago to strike this lecherous bastard to death?"

"When you go out later, it would be best if you killed me with a single blow. That would make you happy."

After saying that, Qin Li turned and left as quickly as possible.

Watching Qin Li's retreating figure, Bai Zhenzhen opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

After Qin Li left, she felt extremely wronged and almost lost her pearl.

She didn't curse Qin Li to die; Qin Li was the second kindest person to her, after her master, Master Ziwei.

She wished Qin Li a long and healthy life, how could she possibly curse him to die?

Besides, she had already given herself to Qin Li, and Qin Li was her man.

She wanted to have children with Qin Li in the future, and she couldn't bear to see him die.

Qin Li had no way of knowing these things. After leaving the library, Qin Li went straight to Pei Qingluan's courtyard.

Surprisingly, Pei Qingluan didn't get up early that day and was still fast asleep in her room.

Qin Li dismissed the maids, pushed open the door and entered the room. He sat on the edge of the bed and quietly watched Pei Qingluan sleep.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, raised her hands above her head, stretched, and made soft, sweet sounds.

However, when she saw a man sitting by the bed, she instinctively pulled her arms back under the covers.

He wrapped himself in the blanket and shrank further into the corner of the bed.

"You... how did you get here?"

Pei Qingluan asked.

"We're an old married couple, there's no need to ask such a stupid question anymore."

Qin Li took off the jade thumb ring from his thumb, held it in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully.

"Who's with you, this old married couple?"

Pei Qingluan stubbornly replied, "We are husband and wife in name only, not in reality."

Upon hearing this, Qin Li grinned, involuntarily leaning forward:

"Why don't we just make it a done deal today? That way, we'll be husband and wife in name and in reality."

Upon hearing this, Pei Qingluan was startled and glared at him, shouting, "How dare you!"

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

Qin Li stood up, put on the jade thumb ring, and then said, "I came to see you early this morning because I have something to discuss."

"What is it?"

Pei Qingluan asked.

"Put your clothes on first."

"Then you can go out first."

"We're an old married couple, what's there to be shy about?"

"Who said we're an old married couple? We're just..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Qin Li interrupted Pei Qingluan: "Haven't we come full circle again? I'll give you fifteen minutes to get dressed. I'll be waiting for you outside."

After saying that, Qin Li walked out of the room and went to the courtyard to wait.

Seeing that Qin Li had really left, Pei Qingluan tiptoed out of bed and began to get dressed.

A moment later, Pei Qingluan came out and asked without any emotion:

"Speak, what is it?"

Qin Li spoke frankly: "I want to go back to being a matchmaker."

"matchmaker?"

Pei Qingluan expressed deep bewilderment.

"Are you bored? As the crown prince, you still have time to act as a matchmaker?"

Pei Qingluan said with a smile, "Tell me, who do you want to be a matchmaker for? It's not you, is it?"

Qin Li shook his head: "I have plenty of women, why would I need to find a match for myself? I want to find a match for your guards, such as the 120,000 sword geniuses your father gave you."

"You mean Jian Yi and Jian Er?"

When Pei Qingluan married into the capital, not only did her family prepare a generous dowry for her, but her biological father, Li Fuyao, also prepared one: twelve sword geniuses from the Sword Sect. If properly trained, these people would be far more useful than any amount of money.

Qin Li nodded and said, "It's them."

Pei Qingluan laughed again: "Sword One and Sword Two, they are all sword fanatics. They like nothing but swords. Even if you put a naked beauty on their bed, they won't give her a second glance. Their wives are the swords in their hands."

Qin Li shook his head: "You can't say that. It depends on who those beauties are. What if I said they were disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Qingluan was stunned for a moment. After realizing what she meant, she pointed a finger at Qin Li with an annoyed expression:

"You, you're really something."

Other beauties might not react much to Jian Yi or Jian Er, but the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect might be a different story. They are all of the Xuan Yin Body, which is like Tang Sanzang flesh in the eyes of martial artists, and everyone wants a bite.

Even if Jian Yi and Jian Er loved swords, they couldn't resist the temptation.

Nothing is more tempting than the ability to quickly improve one's cultivation level, and this method of cultivation has no side effects.

Just look at Qin Li; after he got Bai Zhenzhen, his martial arts cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has already become a master.

"Even if Jian Yi and Jian Er are willing, would the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect be willing? And would their master, Master Ziwei, be willing?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own way. In a few days, just have Jian Yi and Jian Er come to the manor's matchmaking event on time."

After Qin Li finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Pei Qingluan did not stop him.

This is a good thing for Jian Yi and Jian Er, and she has no reason to stop it.

Leaving Pei Qingluan's courtyard, Zhou Biao, who was following behind Qin Li, couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, isn't this letting those young people off too easily?"

"We have quite a few promising young people in our household. We can easily absorb those disciples from the Jade Maiden Sect ourselves. It's good to keep the talent within the family, don't you think?"

After saying that, Zhou Biao chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

"I don't even want to expose you," Qin Li said with his hands behind his back. "I think it's you, Zhou Biao, who's thinking of taking a concubine again."

"Your Highness, look at what you're saying. The capable should do more work, that's what I learned from you."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Li said, "Alright, as you wish. We'll invite all the young people in our household to the matchmaking event in a few days so that everyone can compete fairly."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Biao was overjoyed.

"You're not eligible," Qin Li said. "Look at your age, trying to compete with a bunch of young people for a wife. Aren't you ashamed?"

Zhou Biao stroked his hair and said shamelessly:

"Your Highness, I'm still young. I also want to work hard to increase my cultivation. What if some disciple of the Jade Maiden Sect is blind and takes a liking to me?"

"Do as you please, but don't resort to underhanded tactics or force, or else..."

Zhou Biao said, "I know, I know, Your Highness, don't you understand me? I will definitely use my personal charm to move them and make them throw themselves at me."
